AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes a treatment that can reduce the size of breast tumors, stop the tumors from spreading, and even completely cure them. The treatment can also make other treatments more effective and increase the chances of a complete response.

Problems solved by technology

Treatment with anthracycline is limited by lifetime dosing limits based on cardiotoxicity concerns.
Despite the availability of antimetabolites such as gemcitabine and platinum complex agents such as carboplatin, there is no accepted standard of care for ER negative breast cancer.
In particular, triple negative metastatic breast cancer (i.e., breast cancer that is ER negative, ands / or PR negative, and / or human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) negative) is refractory to standard treatments and is entirely refractory to SERM chemotherapy.
It is a serious complication of breast cancer, as metastatic disease in breast cancer is often fatal, with treatments mainly limited to palliation.
Although there are limited therapeutic options for cancer treatment, variants of cancers, including metastatic breast cancer, triple negative breast cancer, are especially difficult because they can be refractory to standard chemotherapeutic or hormonal treatment.

A Phase 1 / 1b Dose Escalation Study Evaluating 4-iodo-3-nitrobenzamide (BA) as a Single Agent and in Combination with Irinotecan in Subjects with Advanced Solid Tumors

[0238]This study includes treatment of advanced solid tumors including locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer. The study has two phases: phase 1 and phase 1b.

Objectives

[0239]The primary objectives of phase 1 are to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of 4-iodo-3-nitrobenzamide as a single agent in patients with advanced solid tumors that are refractory to standard therapy. The primary objectives of phase 1b are to determine safety and maximum tolerated dose of 4-iodo-3-nitrobenzamide in combination with irinotecan in patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer and to investigate the effect of this maximum tolerated dose of 4-iodo-3-nitrobenzamide in combination with irinotecan in patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer. The seconda...

Safety Assessment of Administration of 4-iodo-3-nitrobenzamide (BA) at Various Dosages

[0268]24 subjects (advanced solid tumors) were treated with 4-iodo-3-nitrobenzamide monotherapy at doses of 0.5, 1.0, 1.4, 2.8, 4.0, 5.6, and 8.0 mg / kg. Safety data indicated that 4-iodo-3-nitrobenzamide was well tolerated at all dose levels tested to date; no dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) were observed at any dose level. A total of 13 serious adverse events were reported for 5 trial participants. Any serious adverse events (SAEs) reported in the study were deemed not related to study drug by the study investigators. Best response measured to date was stable disease present through at least cycle 2 of the study for six subjects, with 1 subject not having reached end of cycle 2 for a disease assessment to be performed. One subject had completed 9 cycles of treatment with a staging of continued stable disease.

[0269]42 subjects (advanced solid tumors) were treated with 4-iodo-3-nitrobenzamide in com...

A Phase 1b Study to Assess the Tolerability of the 4-iodo-3-nitrobenzamide (BA) in Combination with Irinotecan for the Treatment of Patients with Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC)

[0271]This study was conducted to determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) of irinotecan that can be used in combination with fixed dose 4-iodo-3-nitrobenzamide in patients with locally advanced or MBC.

[0272]Patients were treated with a 3+3 study design to determine safety of 4-iodo-3-nitrobenzamide (8 mg / kg IV twice-weekly on Days 1, 4, 8, and 11 every 21 days) in combination with escalating doses of irinotecan (80-125 mg / m2 IV on Days 1 and 8 every 21 days).

[0273]Response rates were measured per modified RECIST criteria. Serial pharmacokinetic (PK) assessments were performed during Cycle 1, and archived paraffin-embedded tumor samples were collected to correlate markers of hypoxia (CAIX) with response.

[0274]The median age of 34 patients who received therapy was 50 years (range, 32-84), and the median numbe...
